The nominees for the 2019 Brit Awards were announced Saturday, with Dua Lipa and Anne-Marie receiving several mentions each.

Both women are up for four honors. Lipa will contend in the British single category — for her Calvin Harris collaboration "One Kiss" as well as for "IDGAF" — and for British artist video of the year for the same two singles. Anne-Marie will vie for British single and British artist video of the year for "2002," as well as British album of the year and British female solo artist.

According to the BBC, it is only the second time in the award's history that more women than men will compete for the evening's top prize, album of the year.

The 2019 Brit Awards are set to be held Feb. 20 at London’s O2 Arena. Comedian Jack Whitehall is set to return as host.
